Any hope for bug #666?

[Roland Kossel]

Hello,

I just got my Freerunner and - of course - it didn't work with my O2
(Germany) card. I went to a local O2 shop and was able to try out a new SIM
card they had in the shop. This card had a completely different pin-layout
than my old card and it worked!
The card is (allegedly) also a 3G-card - since I don't have any UMTS-modem
at hand I couldn't try it out, so this doesn't seem to be the problem.

Anyway I am happy to be able to use my Freerunner now.

I will take a picture of the pin-layout soon and put it on the ticket site.

Regards,
Roland

Hi,
is there any new info / progress on bug #666 (
http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/666 ) that is not yet on the trac/wiki?
 
That bug is now 15 months (!) old and has yet to receive any serious
attention - I'm hesitating to buy a Freerunner solely because it most likely
wont work with my O2 sim.
 
Can any openmoko engineer shed some light on this - has there been anything
from TI?
